In the spotlight since the release of his new album, “Lar”, the artist will perform at the concert hall on November 12th and 13th.
Pianist first, as he himself says, composer and exponent of the genre in Brazil, Ferr He understood early on that he wouldn’t fit into the imposed mold. “I was always very questioning about the status quo that was presented to me”said in an interview with Rolling Stone Brazil.
This restlessness led him to create his own sound, the urban jazzwhich mixes improvisation and beatspirituality and street, tradition and modernity. The result is music that takes the piano home, but opens up to the world. After all, as Ferr himself summarizes: “I’m a pianist. Everything else I use is artifice — autotune, voice, poem — it’s free expression of this place that starts from the piano.”
